A 20-year-old San Diego woman has been arrested after she allegedly sent nude photographs of herself and sexual messages on the internet to a preteen girl in Spring, officials said.

Alyssia Renee Perkins is charged with two counts of online solicitation of a minor, a third-degree felony, according to the Harris County Precinct 4 Constable's Office.

Deputies said Perkins began communicating with the girl in August via Instagram and Skype as well as with text messages. The conversations became sexual in nature and Perkins allegedly sent nude images of herself to the girl and asked for nude photographs of the girl.

When the girl's mother found the communications, she alerted authorities.

On Friday, deputies said Perkins traveled to Houston to meet with the girl's mother at a Greenspoint hotel to assure her she was no threat to the child. Deputies prevented the meeting.

Deputies said Perkins told investigators she knew how old the girl was and that her communications with her were inappropriate. Perkins was arrested without incident.
